Recommendation for a email program?

    Can someone recommend a good email marketing program or service? I am a new realtor and have about 50 contacts that are willing to be on an email list. I need a program or service that I can use to send newsletters, tips, tricks, etc. via email.

    Just trying to keep my name and company in front of their faces! :)

    Try GroupMail! (http://www.group-mail.com) Its a great tool and it has a very good free version! I use the free version and I am very happy!! It depends what you are looking for! But for fifty email I think is perfect!

    jczorch yes its great!!! If you buy the full version is something like 150$ but if you have thousands of emails and newleters it worth it!!!

    Or you could always use a php script with a mysql database.

    There is a good chance that if you use a custom-made script, a good procentage of your outgoing emails are blocked by ISPs. My recommendation is aweber.com which has the lowest rate of blocked outgoing emails.

    As sarakh mentioned, PHPLists is a good option. You will get stats and other details that you want.

    Pommo is also a good option, and its free. But you wont get detailed stats like how many people viewed the newsletter, how many clicked it etc.
